Java Telnet v1.0.0

I've released this to the world because as far as I know no one
has released a free Telnet protocol handler for Java(in the LGPL sense).
NACSE has WebTerm but it
requires a licensing agreement for commercial use. If you need
telnet for a non-commercial use it might be the way to go.
JTA is another good
telnet which has also tried to separate the telnet protocol handler from
the telnet client. But it is under the GPL license so you can not use it
in commercial software. There are also commercial java based telnet
programs in the world, but they usually don't let you at the source code
for a reasonable fee.

I wrote this in '96 to support
jTelnet for
JavaPad, I've documented it an cleaned up the interface a bit. The
original telnet is still included as thor.app.VT100Telnet, and a
simpler thor.app.telnet is also there as a guide to using the
library. I previously released this on my personal web page as
Thor Telnet. But
I've renamed it back to the more descriptive "Java Telnet" for
the sourceforge release.

The VT100Telnet and telnet example applications are not intended to be
full featured. The original Telnet RFC is implemented, plus some of the
more commonly used extensions, enough to login to Sun, AIX, IRIX and
Linux systems. Anything else and you might need another extension, the
library is clean and there is a mechanism for getting callbacks on
extension requests so you could look them up and implement them if you
need them.
